Ryland went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Rams.

Ryland was able to connect on a 38-yard field goal in the second quarter before later missing a 63-yard try wide right as time expired in the first half. The kicker has now missed at least one field-goal attempt in four consecutive contests, though you can't necessarily fault him for Sunday's miss. Ryland has gone 4-for-8 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-3 from 50-plus yards, over the last four games, and he'll look to get back on track in Week 15 against the Texans.

McManus did not attempt a field goal and went 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears.

McManus went without a field-goal try for the first time this season, and he has now made one or zero field goals in three of the last four games. The kicker has had an inconsistent campaign, going 15-for-21 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-4 from 50-plus yards, over 10 contests. That being said, he's a perfect 4-for-4 on field-goal tries since missing the team's Week 11 win over the Giants with a quadriceps injury.

Folk made his only field-goal try and PAT in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Folk made a 31-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, securing at least one field-goal make for the 12th time this season. Although the Jets' offense isn't particularly strong, the kicker still ranks amongst the best at his position this season, going 23-for-24 on field-goal attempts, including 6-for-7 from 50-plus yards, over 13 games so far.

Smyth connected on 1-of-2 field goals and on 3-of-3 extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Bucs.

Smyth was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday to serve as New Orleans' placekicker for the second consecutive week. The rookie got the nod after the Saints cut Blake Grupe in late November, and he made his only kick, a 56-yard field goal, in his debut last Sunday against Miami. After his miss Sunday, though, the Saints' kicker role will again be worth monitoring in the week ahead.

Carlson went 1-of-1 on field-goal tries and 2-of-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.

The kicker hit a meaningless 46-yarder as time expired in the fourth quarter. Carlson was perfect for the second week in a row and the third time in four games, but he's just not getting a lot of opportunities in one of the league's worst offenses. The eighth-year pro has attempted just 18 extra points in 13 games this season.

Grupe made both field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars.

The kicker was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday to replace Michael Badgley, who had missed three extra points in seven games with the Colts this year. Grupe himself failed to connect on eight field-goal tries with the Saints earlier this season, but he got another shot and made the most of it Sunday. The third-year pro should get another chance next Sunday at Seattle, though he may not have many scoring opportunities against one of the league's best defenses.

Slye connected on his only field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Browns.

Slye hit a 41-yarder in the fourth that put the Titans up 31-17, ultimately supplying the deciding points after Cleveland made a late run. The Tennessee kicker has missed five field goals this year and barely attempted one extra point per game, though he made the most of his chances Sunday.

Reichard went 1-for-1 on field-goal tries and 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Commanders.

The second-year pro did not attempt a single kick last week in a shutout loss to Seattle. Before Sunday, he had attempted just three extra points over the previous four games, as Minnesota's offense had been struggling. If the Vikings can stay hot next week against the Cowboys, Reichard should again get opportunities.

Szmyt converted his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-29 loss to Tennessee in Week 14.

Szmyt, who rebounded from a zero-point effort in Week 13, could have had a couple more points, but Cleveland opted to go for two points after each of its two fourth-quarter touchdowns. His make came from 38 yards out. The rookie kicker has been successful on 85 percent (17-of-20) of his tries, but Cleveland's poor offense rarely puts him in the position to be of great value for a fantasy team. Szmyt's 20 field-goal attempts ranks 29th in the NFL.

Santos hit both field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers.

Santos hit from 33 yards in the second quarter and 41 in the third. A tough matchup against a good defense and a two-point conversion by his own team limited his extra-point opportunities, though. The Bears face another tough defense, Cleveland, in Week 15.
